Sorry, I'm afraid that currently Octane only supports four float attributes and two vector (color) attributes at the same time. Perhaps you could use the vector attributes to store floats in your workflow if you are not using them yet.

That's good to know. Thanks very much for ...

Hello,

I've created multiple point float attributes using the mask paint sop and fed them to Octane. After about 5 or 6 Octane seems to suddenly disable a random one or two. But once I'm back down to 4, it seems to feed all of them to the shader fine.

I see, thanks very much.

I'm afraid that this is not possible. If you switch the material at the SOP level you are going to need to reload the object, but now it is possible to reload one or more objects only even in scene update mode to avoid the full scene reloading. Have you tried that? You can configure the list of ...

Hi there,

With a network like the one attached, where a switch sop is set to switch between render geometry, Octane does not update the material at rendertime if the ROP is set to Update Scene. It does work if you set it to Full Scene Reload, however this isn't an ideal workaround as Reloading the ...

Ok, cheers thank you

I've tried hrender script with command line but there isn't an easy way to manage the queue once it's going. Deadline is so much hassle for just one computer. Anyone know other, more simple, alternatives? I'm ideally looking for something similar to the C4D render queue.
Thanks

I hope you're doing well and keeping safe! Thank you for all your work thus far!

Ok, thanks for the reply!
Possibly something for future development?

Particle Point Attributes:
Is there any information on how to access them? I'm only aware of the old method, where I pack my info into the uv, and then use the rgb4k_map.ppm for accessing them in shader.
Is there any newer way? I tried to search the nodes, but couldn't find anything relevant ...
